THE CAR GETS THIS RANDOM SMELL OF BURNING PLASTIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THERES S CRACKLING SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE DASH BOARD. ALSO THE CAR RANDOMLY DOESNT START. THE LIGHTS AND RADIO WILL WORK BUT THE CAR DOES NOTHING WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MOSTLY AFTER THE BURNING SMELL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY, FUSES AND RELAY SWITCHES AND NOTHING WORKS. I'VE HAD IT AT THE MECHANIC AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. IT'S VERY SCARY SMELLING BURNING PLASTIC AND HEARING CRACKLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I'M STUCK PAYING FOR A CAR I'M TO SCARED TO DRIVE.

SOME ELECTORAL PROBLEMS ARE HAPPENING. WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED THE BRAKE LIGHTS APPEAR IN FLASHING MANNER AND DURING THAT 5 SECOND TIME IT WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK MY WINDOWS AND IF I AM USING MY SUPPERS THEY STOP WORKING SOMETIMES. ALSO SOMETIME THE WINDOWS DONT WORK AND THEBRADIO ALSO MESSES UP AND CHANGES STATION WITH OUT ME TOUCHING IT. THISBHAS BEEN AN ONGOING THING FOR AG LEAST 3 YEARS. ALSO IT USE TO NOT STARTVAT FORB2 DAYS AND THEN ITBWOUKDBSTART WITH NO HELP. I WOUKD COME THROUHH THE PASENGERS SIDE AND STARTBIT FINE. LOTS IF ELECTRIC ISSUES.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, NOT RUNNING, NO KEY IN THE IGNITION, AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE PREVIOUS DAY. ONE OF THE KIDS WENT OUTSIDE TO PLAY AND CAME RUNNING BACK IN TO TELL US THE CAR WAS SMOKING. THERE WAS SMOKING COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. MY BOYFRIEND QUICKLY GOT TO IT AND GOT THE BATTERY OUT AND FOUND THE SOURCE AND UNPLUGGED THE ELECTRICAL STABILITY CONTROL MODULE ( I BELIEVE IS WHAT HE CALLED IT) EITHER WAY, THE PLUG AND WIRES WERE FRIED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT HAD WE NOT SEEN THIS IT WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. I CALLED THE KIA CORPORATE NUMBER AND THEY TOLD ME SORRY BUT ITS AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE, MY CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST 07 KIA SEDONA TO HAVE THIS ISSUE BASED ON THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE. AND HAD WE BEEN SLEEPING WHEN THIS HAPPENED MY HOUSE COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. HAD THERE BEEN CHILDREN IN THIS AT THE TIME THEY COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED.
